We have talked to a Congressional staff person who is not authorized to speak on the record but was willing to tell us off the record what they believe is behind the Administration's effort. It is gun control.

Recently the Obama Administration signaled through Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that it was interested in working with the UN on an international treaty to control firearms being sold across international borders. The action to give INTERPOL immunity from the U. S. Constitution (in this case the Second Amendment) is, according to this source, directly related to establishing the groundwork for an enforcement mechanism for such an international gun control treaty, the details of which are not settled yet, but it is apparent that to make any treaty work there would have to be an enforcement mechanism. Using domestic law enforcement agencies, such as the ATF, FBI and even local agencies would present problems because they could be challenged under the Second Amendment. INTERPOL having immunity would get around that "problem."

Now, Reps. Mike Rogers (the primary sponsor and former FBI agent), Vern Buchanan, Kenny Marchant and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have introduced HR 4453. HR 4453 would simply revoke Executive Order 13524 and thus reverting the wording back to the original EO 12425.

It should be remembered that Team Obama has contended that "EO 13524 did not change anything." So one would assume President Obama would not oppose HR 4453.
